POV: Cooking Restaurant Quality Ragu (How To Make it at Home)

[@enzoitgoes8335]

Chef is very skilled. But what I dig most of all is how virgin green his spectacular olive oil is. Quality ingredients creates high level dishes.

[@cenere784]

Ahh.. So. For sure you noticed the super quality wine

[@Persiandre]

@@cenere784a good wine would be wasted for a ragù and during the cooking process, get your shit together man

[@lukebarnes3157]

He is not 😂

[@tompoynton]

and then the boxed wine 😂😂😂

[@Bloblom]

@@Persiandre You will never "waste" a good wine by cooking with it. What matter are the flavors it brings, not the alcohol it contains, and this is precisely why cheap wines are not a bright idea. No need for a spectacular wine, just anything decent and not bottom of the barrel in terms of quality.

[@silascruz1967]

Since you make the soffritto separately, is the meat sautéed only in olive oil at first?

[@simplesimon5739]

There will always be comments when a Ragu is called bolognase because that's a particular method which is not followed here. Pork/beef, milk, wine, tomato, celery onion, carrot and tomato paste. Variants include the addition of chicken livers and/or pancetta. I expect there's other variations. But this is Ragu. I wouldn't make a paste out of the veg. Grate it if you can't dice it. A quality olive oil but a cheap nasty red wine and so little. Beef and lamb can be used but whilst not traditional is used in a particular establishment in Italy. A recipie that I follow from a particular Italian chef resident in the UK. That should wind up a lot of people. Lamb!

[@erfanbarzegar6416]

Great video! Have a question. 1. Why you didn't use milk and 2. Why grinding celery after carrot and onion?

[@958fuser]

perchè non è esperto

[@simplesimon5739]

He's used just beef. Traditional is pork and beef. Though I do make a beef and lamb recipe and use red wine. I've not actually tried the pork, beef which you cook in milk first then add wine and tomato. But there's many claims to what is traditional and or authentic. Obviously he's ground the celery last because it wouldn't all fit whole.

I added the milk at the end, but I didn’t use any garlic. The herb I used was rosemary.

[@sicdoctor]

@@DenisInTheKitchen thanks. Does garlic not belong in the recipe? Do you think rosemary works better than oregano?

[@DenisInTheKitchen]

@sicdoctor I don't mind garlic, but it's not in the original recipe. As for oregano, I only use it in a classic pomodoro sauce. For ragù, I prefer rosemary-it gives a richer flavor!

hi denis, i enjoyed ur video! was wondering: why no red wine and why no in house stock? greetings from the netherlands!

[@DenisInTheKitchen]

Hi! Thanks so much for watching, glad you enjoyed the video! I actually added the red wine right after the tomato paste to bring out the flavors.❤️

[@DenisInTheKitchen]

Glad you enjoyed the video! I cook in Castiglione della Pescaia, Italy. It's great that you're sticking to the recipe so closely-it makes a big difference! Red wine and milk are definitely classic touches for bolognese. As for chopping, a food processor will definitely save you time! Substituting ketchup can work in a pinch, but the flavor will be a bit different. Keep experimenting, and thanks for sharing your process!

[@Ascaron1337]

Nils, I get your confusion. The tetra pack he used was actually cheap cooking wine, not stock. In his recipe, there is no stock added to the sauce.

Very hard to find a decent ragu in a restaurant compared to taking the time at home. This is an example why.

[@misterclean7570]

Is this the prep for the evening service?

[@bartvanleeuwen7802]

Okay genuine question what is the point of him wearing the gloves if he is going to touch everything with them on without replacing/refreshing them after he like cut the carrots or picked up the salt then again it’s not to criticize but I believe that here in the Netherlands it’s almost mandatory to change gloves after you cut something or pick something up (or wash your hands everytime you do this)

[@DenisInTheKitchen]

Imagine how many times I’d have to change gloves after every touch! I aim to change them only when switching between different types of products, like fish, meat, pickled items, or sweets, or every 10-15 minutes. We also clean the kitchen twice a day. Honestly, I don’t love wearing gloves, but with the sink being a bit far away, it’s just more practical to use them for convenience.

[@GNappers]

I enjoyed the video. Where do you cook out of? I remember the first time I made a bolognese sauce I had an Italian Cook book my sister bought for my dad and everything was by the “T” to the recipe. Quantities, timing. I usually also use red wine and milk before and after the broth. Next time I’ll try and get a food processor instead of waisting time on the chopping of carrots and celery. If tomato paste isn’t in the cupboard I’ll substitute ketchup.

A food processor for the veg when you had all that time waiting for the meat to brown should be a crime against humanity. You could have gotten a nice brunoise on that instead of blitzing it into a paste.

[@alexgreenwood20]

Maybe when you work 12h per day you want to skip tasks that a food processor can do for you. After 4 or 5 hours of cooking of your finely chopped brunoise you have nothing left of the shape. Only effort and time wasted. This is a professional kitchen

[@ling2186]

@@alexgreenwood20 You do make a good point if its cooked slow. Our prep kitchen at work is just pretty much 2 guys finely cutting veg to fill as many 4 litre tubs as humanly possible. Its really good for improving your knife skills. But then again not every restaurant can afford to have chefs to focus just on prep.

[@DenisInTheKitchen]

Grazie per il tuo feedback. Aggiungo il concentrato di pomodoro prima del vino per farlo passire. Aggiungo sempre sale durante la cottura della carne macinata per far uscire l’acqua e rendere la carne più sgranata. Secondo me, l'olio era sufficiente e il ragù non è risultato grasso. Non critico il tuo metodo, ma poiché il mio modo di cucinare dà sempre ottimi risultati e tutti mi chiedono la ricetta, ho visto e provato a preparare il ragù alla bolognese in molti modi, ma questo è quello che mi piace di più.
